Last night we went out for sushi. So instead of no post I figured I would share my breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Poptarts and Cereal are not enough in my house. I usually cook an egg sandwich, something high protein and low fat. You have to remember that when you wake up you may not feel hungry, but your body is starving! It hasn't eaten for 12 hours or more, usually. Your metabolism is running slow so eating a greasy fattening meal such as sausage, bacon, or a buttery muffins will be immediately absorbed as fat. You must eat lean protein to give you metabolism some thing to work on and give it a boost for the rest of the day. Eating something like a biscuit or muffin isn't good, because the carbs and sugar give your low blood sugar a spike that leaves you feeling tired in a couple of hours. This morning I made a spinach and parmesan cheese omelet. Here is how:
2 eggs per person (like to do 1 egg and 1 egg white or you can use eggbeaters)
1 cup fresh spinach (pull big stems off)
pinch of salt and pepper
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of cayenne pepper
parmesan cheese (fresh grated) or any white cheese you have on hand
1 tsp water per 2 eggs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat eggs with salt, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne, and water. Cook spinach in a oven proof saute pan or omelet pan on medium just till warm and starting to wilt (add non stick spray if needed). Pour eggs on top of spinach and stir to distribute evenly. Once bottom has set, 1-2 minutes, put pan in the top of oven to cook the top, another 2 minutes or until no jiggle. Add cheese to melt. remove and slide on the plate and fold over. Wa-la a perfect delicious and healthy omelet to start your day right!
